Not only was the scenery beautiful, but the road surface was in good repair — on Idaho 75 north of Sun Valley, and on 93 to Salmon. The road’s twists and turns were easily navigated, even in our 40’ motorhome towing a car.

Following the beautiful Salmon River with the majestic rock formations along the way make for a wonderful drive. If you are in this area it is drive worth taking. Although we did not see any wildlife we were told often they present themselves along the...More

The Salmon River Scenic Byway is definitely a ride worth taking even if it isn't the most direct route for you...the vistas are beautiful, there is very little traffic and the river is mesmerizing. Be sure to pull off frequently and look around!

There aren't any steep mountain passes between Salmon and Challis (there are some north of Salmon). The section of US93 you are referring to is two-lane road that follows right along the edge of the Salmon River. It's very pretty, but also curvy. Since it hugs the river through the valley, there aren't high cliffs with steep drop-offs. I think the main dangers would be watching your speed in the curves, and keeping an eye out for deer and other wildlife. If you have access to Google Maps, the street view feature will show you actual photos of the road and surrounding terrain. (Click on the road on the map. A small box will pop up with the address and a photo. Click on the photo to enlarge.)
